ABSTRACT:
An implement for setting individual conduit units in end-to-end stacking relation. First and second members are resiliently biased in spaced relation to each other. Cleats extend from the spaced members for supporting an end of a conduit unit. A toggle extends between the spaced members with its arm pivotally joined to those members at one end and to a common knee at their other end. In a preferred embodiment, the toggle is an over-center device having a stop with the cleats being spaced from each other sufficiently to engage an end of a conduit unit when the toggle is in the over-center position. Flexing of the toggle from the over-center position results in a withdrawal of the cleats from the conduit unit end. Positive release of the cleats from the conduit unit end is assured by members extending from each of the spaced members toward the other of the spaced members to engage a conduit unit supported by the cleats during flexing of the toggle. At least one of the toggle arms may be adjustable to accommodate varying sizes of conduit, or variations in actual size within a nominal conduit size, and provision is made to center the implement within a conduit unit while positioning a supported conduit unit in end-to-end relation with another.
